I live on another plane Fulfilled my wishes, In merlot dreams I come from dark valleys from sad, dead bushes from dried-up streams Avoiding the night cops I stick to alleys and bus stops I'm on an unspoken trek Ears filled with whispers Damning the dead sister Angels skipped her train wreck In the distance I can see A dark, stone mansion Moments before dawn Lovers past Hand-in-hand they cast Themselves to the sea The dark mansion is too far For my tired disease My lips quiver Recalling the Tigris River And the ritual char I wake from a haunting dream Naked, wet and cold I did not Wait for the rot Some bodies float upstream I stand at the iron gate of the ancient mansion Locked without I kick, curse and shout I'm missing a key trait Moments before dawn A strange body Cloaked in filth floats above me, 'You are too late to enter Go wander!'

Dark Mansion (2015)
I live on another plane Fulfilled my wishes, In merlot dreams I come from dark valleys from sad, dead bushes from dried-up streams Avoiding the night cops I stick to alleys and bus stops I'm on an unspoken trek Ears filled with whispers Damning the dead sister Angels skipped her train wreck In the distance I can see A dark, stone mansion Moments before dawn Lovers past Hand-in-hand they cast Themselves to the sea The dark mansion is too far For my tired disease My lips quiver Recalling the Tigris River And the ritual char I wake from a haunting dream Naked, wet and cold I did not Wait for the rot Some bodies float upstream I stand at the iron gate of the ancient mansion Locked without I kick, curse and shout I'm missing a key trait Moments before dawn A strange body Cloaked in filth floats above me, 'You are too late to enter Go wander!'
